Well, Keith, I'm pretty sure you knew, originally, that palm trees were not native, or even naturalized, in Illinois. That said, protection would be necessary, every year.
It's discouraging when plants don't make it, because they can be expensive. However, seeing that the Windmills pulled through, in the same enclosure, only shows that they are hardier (able to endure the coldest temp better), than a Jubaea, under the same protection method. I'd bet if the enclosure was warmer, that the Wine Palm would have made it, like it did, after last winter's milder el Nino. Is this as cold as you have been, over the last 3 years? I always protect my plants, as if every winter will be a z5 minimum, even though I'm in z6, because no one really knows, ahead of time, how cold or mild the winter will turn out to be.
